Engineering Frustrated Lewis Pair Active Sites in Porous Organic Scaffolds for Catalytic CO2 Hydrogenation

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Shubhajit Das

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), featuring reactive combinations of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, have been utilized for myriad metal-free homogeneous catalytic processes. Immobilizing the active Lewis sites to a solid support, especially to porous scaffolds, ...

Inverse Design of Singlet-Fission Materials with Uncertainty-Controlled Genetic Optimization

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

Singlet fission has shown potential for boosting the efficiency of solar cells, but the scarcity of suitable molecular materials hinders its implementation. We introduce an uncertainty-controlled genetic algorithm (ucGA) based on ensemble machine learning ...

Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Through-Bond Charge-Transfer States

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules where the lowest excited singlet state is lower in energy than the lowest triplet are highly promising for a number of organic materials applications as efficiency limitations stemming from spin statistics are overcome. All molecules known to pos ...

Data-Driven Discovery of Organic Electronic Materials Enabled by Hybrid Top-Down/Bottom-Up Design

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The high-throughput exploration and screening of molecules for organic electronics involves either a 'top-down' curation and mining of existing repositories, or a 'bottom-up' assembly of user-defined fragments based on known synthetic templates. Both are t ...

Double-bond delocalization in non-alternant hydrocarbons induces inverted singlet-triplet gaps

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules where the first excited singlet state is lower in energy than the first excited triplet state have the potential to revolutionize OLEDs. This inverted singlet-triplet gap violates Hund's rule and currently there are only a few molecules which are ...

Data-driven design of organic electronic materials

Jacob Terence Blaskovits

Singlet fission (SF) is a multiexciton-generating process whereby an excited state singlet (S1) is converted into two lower-energy triplets (T1). The inclusion of a SF-capable material into a photovoltaic device offers the potential for the absorption of p ...

Symmetry-Induced Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Non-Alternant Hydrocarbons

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules with inversion of the singlet and triplet excited-state energies are highly promising for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To date, azaphenalenes are the only class of molecules where these inversions have been identified ...

Mapping Active Site Geometry to Activity in Immobilized Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Shubhajit Das, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Iwona Swiderska, Kun-Han Lin, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Hélène Wu

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...
